ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze regulations related to the formulation of regulations on the application of criminal sanctions against elderly perpetrators, which at this time it is still possible to be sentenced to imprisonment which causes injustice to elderly people. So, it needs fair law enforcement. This study uses the constructivism paradigm, the type of research in the form of doctrinal law, and a juridical -normative approach. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained by conducting literature studies on various regulations and books, research results and various journals. The data obtained was then analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study are that criminal sanctions against elderly perpetrators (elderly) are still considered not fulfilling the principle of justice because the elderly factor as a judge's consideration in sentencing must look at Indonesia's positive legal arrangements, namely the Criminal Code. For now, the Criminal Code does not specifically regulate the factor of old age as a judge's consideration in sentencing. Thus, for criminal cases involving the defendant who is an elderly person, in applying positive law, the judge must look at the values and sense of justice that grow in society. The values here are related to social values that exist in society, namely, what is desired that influences social behavior and has a functional power in the development of life that has been going on for a long time in the habits of behavior in everyday life, while the sense of justice that grows in society reflects the form of the balance of social values in society in law.
